Whether you ride out on the trail or in the show ring, there is no better feeling than riding in partnership with your horse. When the horse moves into the direction you want, at the speed you want with that invisible cue, you will be riding as one.

Using a combination of traditional, classical and natural horsemanship training methods, LZ Horse Training develops confidence in horse and rider. LZ Horse Training has developed a training program that addresses each horse and rider’s individual talents, personalities and abilities, allowing each horse and rider to reach their full potential.

LZ Horse Training provides a variety of services for both the horse and rider. While specialized in foundation training, educating the young horse, problem solving, reining foundation and western dressage, LZ Horse Training also offers training and lessons in obstacle trail, western pleasure, ranch riding, working ranch dry-work and general horsemanship for the Western and English rider.

Lessons are available for beginner, intermediate and advanced riders and horses on a variety of subjects in different disciplines. Lessons in the saddle or on the ground – Lisette will customize a program to your horse’s needs as well as your aspirations and budget.
